Wetlands and dry roads: Restoring the Yellow River watershed in central Wisconsin
August 9, 2024
10:30 am – 11:30 am
Location: Online
A partnership in central Wisconsin is working together to enhance the community’s resilience to future extreme weather events and to simultaneously improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat. Together, the partners (including US Fish & Wildlife Service, WDNR, local government, NGOs, and school groups) are planning, implementing and monitoring the restoration of the Little Yellow River and its watershed in northern Juneau County. Disabling the extensive network of drainage ditches and constructing resilient transportation infrastructure will provide immediate downstream effects, long-term value to the local residents, and a cascade of biological benefits to natural communities and species (including Whooping Cranes!).
